The look on Bill's face has been seen by THOUSANDS, not just those in the Lylat System, but also throughout the world. Losing a comrade like that is something soldiers face whenever they're deployed. The coloring and shading is spectacular, and so is your art style (crisp and clean as always, way to go, bud). Losing a comrade to enemy fire in situations like this has occurred throughout countless wars, and the soldiers remember their fallen by heading into battle for them. This reminds me of deadly WWII missions over Germany (this stuff is very very familiar to me), when pilots would go in without escort and would face enemy fighters and flak. They'd watch as planes right next to them would burst into flames and be destroyed, taking anywhere from eight to twelve men with them. But as all pilots and soldiers had to do, they soldiered on, remembering their comrades and completing the missions for them. This is an excellent piece, and it shows the strength that soldiers have to remember their comrades and continue on to protect others. Amazing job.

Thank you so much for your compliments and for sharing these deep thoughts with me.
I hope I can continue to touch people on this kind of level.

Your comments are very much appreciated and that means a lot, thank you again

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I think you did an incredible job with this picture. Everything is top-notch. As a person who has a long background studying aircraft and warfare, this picture with Bill is perfect for any aerial commander or soldier, and picking Bill for this picture was brilliant. He doesn't fight for the money or the glory. He fights for the freedom of Katina and to protect his teammates. He's the kind of commander who a fellow pilot can sit back and relax with, and when they get up in the air, he's more concerned about them than he is himself. His wingmen aren't just pilots, they're friends and teammates that will do anything for each other. Losing a wingman like that truly is a loss for Bill and any other commander, because each person on their team is important (ask any group heading into a battle together, like the US Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, etc.). Their slogans are "the only easy day was yesterday" and "Rangers lead the way." They're just like Bill, and like Bill, they know what they have to do in spite of what's going on. They have to complete the mission. The missions are dangerous, and when lives are lost, the rest of the team remembers their teammate by completing the mission. These are the commanders that are the heroes on the battlefield. They complete the hard missions with their troops, and they are satisfied when the mission is done and everyone is safe. Bill is a true commander and you did an excellent job by showing he's going to complete this mission. Great work.

As the colouring artist for this picture, let me personally thank you for this input. You sure know your stuff, what a great fan of Starfox you are.

You've really described the atmosphere R3d and I wanted to put across, I'm so happy you feel with Bill and his comrades.

truly amazing
Poor Bill

it must be painful to lose a fellow soldier

~R3dFiVe Oct 3, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you so much!

Oh yes, very true. The fact that this pilot was just talking to Bill and went out in a fiery explosion makes it all the more painful for Bill
